**About Scratch Programming:**

Scratch is a free, interactive programming language that makes it easy for young learners to create their own animations, games, and stories. With its user-friendly interface, children can snap together colorful blocks to create code, without needing to know traditional text-based programming languages. The Scratch community is a hub of creativity, where kids from around the world share their projects and inspire one another.

**Why Scratch?**

– **Child-Friendly:** Designed for children aged 8 to 16 (and younger with ScratchJr), Scratch makes programming accessible and fun.
– **Creativity and Learning:** By coding in Scratch, kids learn problem-solving skills, design, and the logical thinking necessary for understanding computer science fundamentals.
– **Global Community:** The platform’s online community allows kids to share their work with a global audience, fostering collaboration and social interaction.

**Who is this course for?**

This course is perfect for any child (with parental supervision for those under 18) who has ever been curious about how games, apps, and animations are made. With the guidance of our expert instructors, your child will develop a strong foundation in programming that will serve as an excellent stepping stone to more advanced coding languages.
